Unlike standard timers, you don't need to program Pomodroido with the amount of time you'd like to work and how long your breaks should be.

The app does all of this without your help, so you can focus on the task at hand, without being distracted by the timer. The app has a simple leveling system that awards you points and levels as you finish each work session.
